Property Description
Gaston Airport (2SC8) is a rare opportunity to own a well-established private airfield with excellent aviation infrastructure, expansion potential, and a prime location just minutes south of Columbia, South Carolina. The property spans approximately 18 acres, with about 8.5 acres dedicated to the professionally maintained 3,500' x 100' grass runway. The runway offers clear approaches, excellent drainage, and smooth operations, and has reliably supported aircraft up to the size of a King Air 90. Routine mowing is easily handled with the on-site 72" zero-turn mower that conveys with the property.
The airport includes a 5,600+ sq ft hangar constructed of metal and wood on a concrete floor. The hangar features a large 45' hydraulic door, bathroom, fluorescent lighting, and recent upgrades including new electrical wiring, replaced water lines, and fresh exterior paint. It currently houses approximately six aircraft, with continued demand from pilots seeking storage or private hangar space in the area.
Utility infrastructure includes public electricity, a deep water well, and a septic system, providing reliable support for current operations and future development. The property is zoned to allow residential construction and multiple structures, offering excellent potential for private homes, additional hangars, or aviation-related facilities. Open acreage surrounding the runway and hangar provides ideal sites for expansion.
Gaston Airport is positioned along the southern edge of Columbia Class C airspace, offering an optimal blend of accessibility and privacy. Its central location places it within a two-hour drive of Charlotte, Charleston, Augusta, and numerous regional destinations, making it an attractive option for pilots seeking a private airfield with strong regional connectivity.
With its long, well-maintained runway, substantial hangar, reliable utilities, and room to grow, Gaston Airport represents an exceptional aviation property and a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a private airfield in the eastern states.
